the
rules
rules
one
please be able to write in a descriptive manner; the need for it will fluctuate depending on the kind of scenes but we do want this to be a literate style kind of rp, meaning you should have the ability to write more than one paragraph.
two
being 18+ is not required for this roleplay but there will be mature themes in this role-play such as possible violence, gore and mental complexities. so we wish for our applicants to be mature enough to handle these kind of things.
three
this will certainly not be a power fantasy role-play where your character will win all the time, so please be able to accept less fortunate outcomes (dice rolls will be involved to determine a noticeable portion of them) and do not seek any ooc fights with either us, the gms, or your fellow writers in case things are not going your way. we really do not tolerate any ooc drama or bigotry.
four
we are looking for writers who are truly committed to this journey; it will not be a short one and we have lots of things planned each trial to keep everything interesting. we are not so strict on post frequency but really do not want people to ghost this role-play. our great preference is to finish with the characters we started, so please do not apply if you do not think you can commit long-term.
five
you will need to have a discord in order to participate. this is due to the dice rolls being performed there.
six
this is NOT a first come, first serve role-play. while we won't require you to submit an elaborate cs, but rather more of a character concept, the best ones will be picked out in the end.
seven
this was touched on a little before but our vision is to have a roleplay with a proper feeling of the stakes involved. this includes consequences that might result into severe character injuries and perhaps even death. of course, we will not kill off any characters without your consent but please be aware that there are character risks involved and that your character certainly won't be safe from harm.

the
prophecy
prophecy
”We gave you blessings, but you’ve made war. so silence there will be, as there was before.”
The silence is heavy, and the world, breathed to life by divinity, crumbles underneath it. The blessings of the gods are no more and the halcyon days are gone, leaving the mortals alone with their vices, alone with their greed. people beg, people wail, people scream, but to no avail; the gods don’t answer, or maybe they no longer listen.
You, born in the era that history will paint as the dark days, do not know much about before, but you do not need to have lived during those years to know this; their absences aren’t nothing – and you can feel it in your bones, in your soul carried into new lives by the very hands that they say have abandoned you. you feel it – the world teeters.
May it be on the edge of something great or damnation.
But do not fear my child, do not worry. The gods know you aren’t at fault, even though your kind is. We will give you a chance, an opportunity to bring back the light.
So listen to these words, carefully, earnestly — for the prophecy speaks, and it’s calling for you.
On the second evermoon, a new light will reach down to those punished and mortal.
A set of trials will occur, and the gods will watch, will test, if you are worthy once more.
Win and the silence will cease, blessings will follow.
Lose and the silence will be eternal
So step forth,
One of serenity,
One of valor,
One of balance.
One of cunning
One of freedom
and
One of wisdom
You will be what others are not.
Zenua’s champions.
Bringers of new beginnings
Or forever endings.
So here lay the zenuá trials, a journey to the realm of gods, and perhaps the most deadly challenge yet. but again, my child, no need to worry;
You only carry the weight of the world.

the
foundation
the foundation
setting
this is a fantasy roleplay set in the Zenua continent, which was first created for a one on one role-play. each clan is inspired by an east asian country (Japan, Korea, China & Mongolia) and has its unique traditions and customs.
grp mechanic
we aimed to incorporate beloved dnd elements into this roleplay to make it more interesting and exciting ! this includes sudden dice roll prompts given to the writers as well as skill checks in order to determine certain outcomes of the character's actions. other than that, we really wanted to give the player the feeling that their choices in these trials mattered. you will find that some choices will lead you down a certain path in a trial and might also bleed over to something in the next trial. some these choices will either be voted on in the discord or discussed one on one with the gms. we also encourage exploration of the world ; there is not going to be a straight path to winning these trials.
roles
me and @triples will only perform as gms, meaning we will only play npcs and handle the behind the scenes and ic track of the story. all six roles, except for Hyeon's, will be available for anyone who is interested.
lore
this roleplay will have a fair amount of background lore; aside from the general clan lore, we also have a god pantheon and historic conflicts/wars that will explain certain relations between countries. the links to the grand lore page, you will find here:
L O R E
Dülaan Clan
You are the fire that burns and destroys, originating from where colds seeps deep and mountains tower high. Perhaps you are true to the honor that runs deep through Dülaan souls; a true warrior of might and courage. Or maybe you bring pride by forging those weapons in the very flames that fuels your existence. It rings true that your clan isn’t well liked and you, painted more so as a bad than good. Barbarians and brutes, they name you, but don’t let that stop you from taking pride in your clan, for you can show strength where there is weakness and valor where there is cowardice. And above all, you are of the Dülaan.
Daeya Clan
You are the waves that go with currents gentle and serene, surrounded by other sacred blues. Your clan is a peaceful one, residing by the coast and on islands south. What role is it that you take? Will you go and travel the seas along with your fellow Daeyans, eyes set on the horizon for destinations beyond your clan or even continent, because that’s where the gold lies. Or will you stay closer to home, because home is tranquil and you like it that way. Be the tide that flows or wrecks – or maybe both – because the seas are never just gentle, and never just unruly.
Shízu Clan
You are the roots settled deep and durable, the flower pretty but poisonous, or the predator lethal. You live where flora and fauna thrives, surrounded by hues only nature could show. Your clan is powerful and rightly so, for their healing is well-sought and their warriors greatly feared. What you are in this clan is up to you, but there are rules to be followed, traditions to be upheld. There are tethers to consider, but remember this: no matter what you do, or who you are, you are still shizu; resourceful, ardent and, most important of all, a force of nature.
Shinsora Clan
You are the air that goes everywhere, holding no vast ground or home. Nomadic and free. you go where your muse leads you, which can be as fickle as the wants of those limited by mortality. The artistry that runs through your clan, also makes up the heart and mind in you. May you be a painter wishing to capture the wonders of the world on canvas or a musician creating tunes out of tales. Some people might find those of your clan too carefree, too erratic, but that does not deter you. You are the art and music of life, the poems and stories of Zenua — you are Shinsora.
Hyeon Clan
You are the light that shines with knowledge, the one who, before anyone else, has heard those whispers divine again. The oracle they call you, speaker of the prophecy. Surrounded by books and great architecture, you live your life, and like a true hyeon clan member, your thirst for knowledge is as strong as your need to breathe. .Why you were chosen to be the one carrying the word of god is up to you; it is a heavy duty to carry, perhaps even a heavier burden. but you do so nonetheless, because that’s who you are — as a protector of history and knowledge. as the great oracle.
Yurei Clan
You are the shadows that stalk, the dagger in someone’s back, or the false veil surrounded by truths. Your homeland knows more darkness than sunlight with dense mists lingering about. People distrust you, hate you, for being Yurei. It’s because their encounters with your clan often result in death or betrayal. And maybe you’re one of them, tasked to kill or spy. maybe you’re not; maybe you can show them that amongst the black and gray, your clan has shades less dark, less like a death hymn. A shadow you are and, maybe always will be to them, but perhaps they can learn that not every shadow that follows is bad.
